svm->next_rip is only used by skip_emulated_instruction() and in case kvm_set_msr() fails we rightfully don't do that. Move svm->next_rip advancement to 'else' branch to avoid creating false impression that it's always advanced (and make it look like rdmsr_interception()). This is a preparatory change to removing hardcoded RIP advancement from instruction intercepts, no functional change.

Jump to the common error handling in x86_decode_insn() if __do_insn_fetch_bytes() fails so that its error code is converted to the appropriate return type. Although the various helpers used by x86_decode_insn() return X86EMUL_* values, x86_decode_insn() itself returns EMULATION_FAILED or EMULATION_OK. This doesn't cause a functional issue as the sole caller, x86_emulate_instruction(), currently only cares about success vs. failure, and success is indicated by '0' for both types (X86EMUL_CONTINUE and EMULATION_OK).

Even though it is preferrable to use SPEC_CTRL (represented by X86_FEATURE_AMD_SSBD) instead of VIRT_SPEC, VIRT_SPEC is always supported anyway because otherwise it would be impossible to migrate from old to new CPUs. Make this apparent in the result of KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID as well. However, we need to hide the bit on Intel processors, so move the setting to svm_set_supported_cpuid.

The AMD_* bits have to be set from the vendor-independent feature and bug flags, because KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID does not care about the vendor and they should be set on Intel processors as well. On top of this, SSBD, STIBP and AMD_SSB_NO bit were not set, and VIRT_SSBD does not have to be added manually because it is a cpufeature that comes directly from the host's CPUID bit.

This is probably overdue---KVM x86 has quite a few contributors that usually review each other's patches, which is really helpful to me. Formalize this by listing them as reviewers. I am including people with various expertise: - Joerg for SVM (with designated reviewers, it makes more sense to have him in the main KVM/x86 stanza) - Sean for MMU and VMX - Jim for VMX - Vitaly for Hyper-V and possibly SVM - Wanpeng for LAPIC and paravirtualization. Please ack if you are okay with this arrangement, otherwise speak up. In other news, Radim is going to leave Red Hat soon. However, he has not been very much involved in upstream KVM development for some time, and in the immediate future he is still going to help maintain kvm/queue while I am on vacation. Since not much is going to change, I will let him decide whether he wants to keep the maintainer role after he leaves.

recalculate_apic_map does not santize ldr and it's possible that multiple bits are set. In that case, a previous valid entry can potentially be overwritten by an invalid one. This condition is hit when booting a 32 bit, >8 CPU, RHEL6 guest and then triggering a crash to boot a kdump kernel. This is the sequence of events: 1. Linux boots in bigsmp mode and enables PhysFlat, however, it still writes to the LDR which probably will never be used. 2. However, when booting into kdump, the stale LDR values remain as they are not cleared by the guest and there isn't a apic reset. 3. kdump boots with 1 cpu, and uses Logical Destination Mode but the logical map has been overwritten and points to an inactive vcpu.

A HW mapped level sensitive interrupt asserted by a device will not be put into the ap_list if it is disabled at the VGIC level. When it is enabled again, it will be inserted into the ap_list and written to a list register on guest entry regardless of the state of the device. We could argue that this can also happen on real hardware, when the command to enable the interrupt reached the GIC before the device had the chance to de-assert the interrupt signal; however, we emulate the distributor and redistributors in software and we can do better than that.

At the moment, the way we reset CP15 registers is mildly insane: We write junk to them, call the reset functions, and then check that we have something else in them. The "fun" thing is that this can happen while the guest is running (PSCI, for example). If anything in KVM has to evaluate the state of a CP15 register while junk is in there, bad thing may happen. Let's stop doing that. Instead, we track that we have called a reset function for that register, and assume that the reset function has done something. In the end, the very need of this reset check is pretty dubious, as it doesn't check everything (a lot of the CP15 reg leave outside of the cp15_regs[] array). It may well be axed in the near future.

Since commit commit 328e5664 ("KVM: arm/arm64: vgic: Defer touching GICH_VMCR to vcpu_load/put"), we leave ICH_VMCR_EL2 (or its GICv2 equivalent) loaded as long as we can, only syncing it back when we're scheduled out. There is a small snag with that though: kvm_vgic_vcpu_pending_irq(), which is indirectly called from kvm_vcpu_check_block(), needs to evaluate the guest's view of ICC_PMR_EL1. At the point were we call kvm_vcpu_check_block(), the vcpu is still loaded, and whatever changes to PMR is not visible in memory until we do a vcpu_put(). Things go really south if the guest does the following: mov x0, #0 // or any small value masking interrupts msr ICC_PMR_EL1, x0 [vcpu preempted, then rescheduled, VMCR sampled] mov x0, #ff // allow all interrupts msr ICC_PMR_EL1, x0 wfi // traps to EL2, so samping of VMCR [interrupt arrives just after WFI] Here, the hypervisor's view of PMR is zero, while the guest has enabled its interrupts. kvm_vgic_vcpu_pending_irq() will then say that no interrupts are pending (despite an interrupt being received) and we'll block for no reason. If the guest doesn't have a periodic interrupt firing once it has blocked, it will stay there forever. To avoid this unfortuante situation, let's resync VMCR from kvm_arch_vcpu_blocking(), ensuring that a following kvm_vcpu_check_block() will observe the latest value of PMR. This has been found by booting an arm64 Linux guest with the pseudo NMI feature, and thus using interrupt priorities to mask interrupts instead of the usual PSTATE masking.

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should never do something different based on this. Also, when doing this, change kvm_arch_create_vcpu_debugfs() to return void instead of an integer, as we should not care at all about if this function actually does anything or not.

Commit 11752adb (locking/pvqspinlock: Implement hybrid PV queued/unfair locks) introduces hybrid PV queued/unfair locks - queued mode (no starvation) - unfair mode (good performance on not heavily contended lock) The lock waiter goes into the unfair mode especially in VMs with over-commit vCPUs since increaing over-commitment increase the likehood that the queue head vCPU may have been preempted and not actively spinning. However, reschedule queue head vCPU timely to acquire the lock still can get better performance than just depending on lock stealing in over-subscribe scenario. Testing on 80 HT 2 socket Xeon Skylake server, with 80 vCPUs VM 80GB RAM: ebizzy -M vanilla boosting improved 1VM 23520 25040 6% 2VM 8000 13600 70% 3VM 3100 5400 74% The lock holder vCPU yields to the queue head vCPU when unlock, to boost queue head vCPU which is involuntary preemption or the one which is voluntary halt due to fail to acquire the lock after a short spin in the guest.

We use "pmc->idx" and the "chained" bitmap to determine if the pmc is chained, in kvm_pmu_pmc_is_chained(). But idx might be uninitialized (and random) when we doing this decision, through a KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT ioctl -> kvm_pmu_vcpu_reset(). And the test_bit() against this random idx will potentially hit a KASAN BUG [1]. In general, idx is the static property of a PMU counter that is not expected to be modified across resets, as suggested by Julien. It looks more reasonable if we can setup the PMU counter idx for a vcpu in its creation time. Introduce a new function - kvm_pmu_vcpu_init() for this basic setup. Oh, and the KASAN BUG will get fixed this way.

After reverting commit 240c35a3 (kvm: x86: Use task structs fpu field for user), struct kvm_vcpu is 19456 bytes on my server, PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER(3) is the order at which allocations are deemed costly to service. In serveless scenario, one host can service hundreds/thoudands firecracker/kata-container instances, howerver, new instance will fail to launch after memory is too fragmented to allocate kvm_vcpu struct on host, this was observed in some cloud provider product environments. This patch dynamically allocates user_fpu, kvm_vcpu is 15168 bytes now on my Skylake server.

The idea before commit 240c35a3 (which has just been reverted) was that we have the following FPU states: userspace (QEMU) guest --------------------------------------------------------------------------- processor vcpu->arch.guest_fpu >>> KVM_RUN: kvm_load_guest_fpu vcpu->arch.user_fpu processor >>> preempt out vcpu->arch.user_fpu current->thread.fpu >>> preempt in vcpu->arch.user_fpu processor >>> back to userspace >>> kvm_put_guest_fpu processor vcpu->arch.guest_fpu --------------------------------------------------------------------------- With the new lazy model we want to get the state back to the processor when schedule in from current->thread.fpu.
